After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

These words really scared Nian Qiaoyue.

If Nian Susu really said this in front of Cheng Yun last year, wouldn't her life be ruined?

She was going to marry the King of Qing and become the third imperial consort. In the future, she might even become the Crown Princess, the queen who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else! She didn't want to be someone's concubine! She would spend the rest of her life in the torment of the main wife!

"Sister, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. Why did you bring it up with my marriage?" Nian Qiaoyue sniffed and said casually, "Sister, you knew that Miss Li didn't want to get married, so why didn't you take her away? I don't think you really care about Miss Li, you just want to find an excuse to beat me."

Nian Susu was startled, Nian Qiaoyue's words echoing in his mind. Taking Li Yaoyuan away... running away from the marriage? It was a good idea.

Rather than letting her lose her life in vain, Nian Susu would rather she stay away from Shengjing and live her whole life in hiding. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about family honor, and no one could morally blackmail her anymore.

Observing the reactions of the Nianxiu and Yuexiu, he felt proud that Prince Ren was indeed as good as a god in predicting things.

That day, Prince Ren vowed that Nian Susu would definitely be tempted by this proposal. She was still half-believing and half-doubting, but she didn't expect that after she made just one move, Nian Susu couldn't resist.

She smiled and walked forward, closing the distance between them. "Anyway, the emperor didn't issue an order, he just verbally asked Master Xiao to take Miss Li as his concubine. If Miss Li has any accidents during her marriage..." She smiled meaningfully, "The emperor can't do anything about it, right?"

Nian Susu's sharp gaze suddenly turned to Nian Qiaoyue, with vigilance and precaution. Although this method was feasible, she always felt that Nian Qiaoyue had bad intentions.

Nian Qiaoyue blinked innocently and shifted her target to Li Yaoyuan. She deliberately took two steps forward and sat down on the edge of the bed. Her worried expression really seemed like she was thinking about her.

"Miss Li, don't you want to leave this house and see the outside world? Away from Shengjing, away from the disputes and struggles.

"When the time comes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. No one will know who you are, nor your past. You only need to travel through the good times, appreciate the natural scenery, drink tea, sit and write poetry, enjoy the snow and listen to the rain. How comfortable it is to live alone."

Nian Qiaoyue was so fascinated by what she said, let alone Li Yaoyuan.

Li Yaoyuan has the same pursuit as Qin Guanqing in her heart, that is "freedom".

One is a young lady trapped in the backyard, the other is a prince imprisoned in the palace. Qin Guanqing has broken through the cage that surrounds him and is traveling freely between heaven and earth. This is what Li Yaoyuan longs for most and also the deepest wish in her heart.

That's why she was attracted to Qin Guanqing at the beginning, not for any other reason, but simply because he had a free temperament that did not belong to this cage.

Now she also had the opportunity to fly out of this high wall. Just listening to Nian Qiaoyue's straightforward description, she was already fascinated, not to mention if it could be realized...

Li Yaoyuan could not hide her excitement. When the time came to make a choice, she would definitely choose to leave without hesitation.

Looking at Li Yaoyuan who was full of life, Nian Susu couldn't tell what she felt. In the past few months, she could feel that Li Yaoyuan was depressed and in a low mood. Even if she smiled occasionally, it was a bitter smile.

Nian Susu was anxious but helpless, especially after the suicide attempt, Li Yaoyuan was like a puppet. She took medicine when she was told to take medicine and slept when she was told to sleep. She had no emotions or thoughts of her own.

Now, she saw something different in her - hope.

Hope for the future, hope for life.

"Zhizhi, do you want to leave here?" she asked solemnly.

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't help but become nervous. Her plan could only succeed if Li Yaoyuan agreed to leave.

She kept repeating one word in her mind: Think! Think! Think!

But Li Yaoyuan's excitement only lasted for a moment, and soon faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a withered flower.

"If I leave, what will happen to my father, brother and sister?"

Although the emperor did not order her to be married to Xiao Jianting, the emperor had made a solemn statement that she was disrespectful to the emperor by openly running away from her relatives and she would be beheaded. If she ran away, she would implicate her relatives.

Although... her father no longer treated her as a daughter and had done many things that made her feel heartbroken, she still had raised her for so many years, and she felt guilty about letting her watch her elderly father and younger brothers and sisters go to jail because of her.

Nian Qiaoyue quickly interrupted and said, "It's definitely not possible to leave openly, but we can do it secretly."

This is exactly what Nian Susu wanted to say. It was a good point, but it sounded strange when said by Nian Qiaoyue.

When did Nian Qiaoyue become so kind? When did she care so much about Li Yaoyuan's affairs?

Something just doesn't feel right...

She pulled Nian Qiaoyue away, not letting her sit on the bed, and took her place herself.

"Zhizhi, you must be tired after talking for so long. Take a rest first. We can talk about anything next time."

She winked at Li Yaoyuan, who understood and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I happen to be sleepy, so I won't chat with you any more."

Nian Qiaoyue didn't expect the topic to end so abruptly. Before she could hear what she wanted, Nian Susu had already pulled her away.

After leaving the house, Nian Qiaoyue was still unwilling to give up and wanted to ask a few more questions to test her plan, but was interrupted by Wan Tao.

"Miss Nian, has our young lady taken her medicine?"

Nian Susu realized too late that he had forgotten about this matter, and hurriedly asked Wantao to reheat the medicine before giving it to Li Yaoyuan.

After giving the instructions, Nian Susu walked away quickly as if he was on a hot wheel.

Nian Qiaoyue had no choice but to give up. Anyway, she had successfully persuaded Nian Susu to find a way to take Li Yaoyuan out of the city. The rest was up to Prince Ren.

……

Seeing that there were only ten days left before Xiao Jianting and Wang Yuejiao's wedding, the Li family had to start making preparations. However, because being a concubine was not presentable, no large-scale preparations were made. There were not even a few red ribbons to be seen in the house. Even Li Yaoyuan's wedding dress was hastily made, with mediocre workmanship and appearance.

I cannot wear red, her wedding dress is pink.

Li Yaoyuan unexpectedly cooperated with the nanny to try on the wedding dress. After listening to her talk about the procedures on the wedding day, she felt much more energetic than in the previous few days.

Everyone in the mansion thought that their young lady had figured it out.

Xiao Jianting came to meet Li Yaoyuan once to deliver a betrothal gift. This was against the rules, but Xiao Jianting insisted on doing so. Li Zhiyi didn't care about his daughter, and it was impossible for him to offend Xiao Jianting because of her, so he agreed.

When Xiao Jianting went to Li Yaoyuan's yard, she was watering the flowers in the yard.

She was wearing a light yellow cross-cut skirt and had her hair done in a slightly playful lily bun. She had a bright smile on her face and her eyes were shining.
